An album that seeks to set itself apart from what came before it, fulfilling that goal with irony by being the worst record they've released to date. I don't begrudge any band wanting to broaden their horizons and modify their sound, but it is a risk that, like this album shows, can backfire spectacularly. The main thing that hits you on this record is the desire to experiment; gone mostly are the thrash elements of previous records, and in is a desire to embrace different sounds. I've seen people label this their Black Album, but that isn't an apt description; while it tones down the thrash attack, it doesn't streamline its approach in a similar vein to fit that description. If, when you see the word experiment, you think Devin Townsend or Mr Bungle, don't get your hopes up. Different sounds and structures are thrown in, but they don't embrace the insanity that messrs Townsend and Patton do. Read more ›› |
